Ric, The original article was in Telescope Making #9 and there was a follow up in TM #19. The project was organized at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. One of my neighbors (shown in a picture on page 7 in TM #19) was a machinist on the project, and I will give him a call and see if he can shed some light on what happened to the project.
